About this program
The Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency operates the Agriculture Risk Coverage Program (CFDA 10.113), an income support initiative providing payments to eligible producers on farms enrolled for the 2019 through 2024 crop years when actual crop revenue falls below a guaranteed level for covered commodities.
ARC functions as a revenue-based program designed to cover a portion of a farmer's out-of-pocket loss when revenues decline below benchmark levels. Two program variants operate in parallel: ARC-County Coverage (ARC-CO) provides income support at the county level for selected covered commodities, with payment calculation based on base acres and triggered when county-level crop revenue falls below the ARC-CO guarantee; ARC-Individual Coverage (ARC-IC) provides income support at the farm level across all acreage devoted to covered commodities, with payments triggered when the producer's actual crop revenue averages below the ARC-IC guarantee. Payments are made beginning October 1 following the end of the applicable marketing year for each covered commodity, with no limit placed on the time permitted to spend awarded funds. Approval of payments depends on farmer compliance with conservation and wetland provisions. Producers must maintain and retain financial books and records permitting verification of all transactions for at least three years following the calendar year in which assistance was provided.
The program carries forward from the 2014 Farm Bill. Producers may obtain reconsideration and review of any adverse determination in accordance with appeal regulations specified in 7 CFR parts 11 and 780.
